Beautiful horizon view from the hill. Every morning I woke up with the sea view and every evening I ended the day with the view of the sunset. Marina was very kind, very available and flexible

Psiloritis Elena features free WiFi throughout the property and views of sea in Kalamaki Heraklion. Located around 7.9 km from Phaistos, the hostel is also 10 km away from Museum of Cretan Ethnology. Staff on site can arrange a shuttle service.

The place is very close to the beach. Me and my wife loved it. The staff. This was the friendliest, most helpful staff I have ever had. Despite speaking very basic English, the owner helped with every. single. question. Big or small! If I could, I would give 15/10 to the staff alone!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location next street to the very center of Matala, room was cool without having to use the air-condition. The beaches are close and Hotel Sofia has umbrellas for the the guests, so you don't have to pay for one at the beach every day. Γιώργος is an excellent host, we had a great Raki!
